Please pray for us next week.

Please pray for us this coming Monday through Wednesday as we attend Sovereign Grace Ministries’ Pastors Conference.  Each of KingsWay’s pastors will be traveling with our spouse to Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD where the three day conference will be held.

The theme of the conference is “The Pastor’s Priorities”.  We will be ministered to during main sessions and seminars, as well as fellowship and reunions with friends and fellow pastors.  If you want to learn more about the conference you can visit Sovereign Grace’s site. Pray that God would help each of us to receive exactly what God desires to speak to us for both our personal growth and edification, as well as for the building and strengthening of KingsWay.

In addition to the regular conference schedule Gene and Liz will be traveling up a day early to meet with the Sovereign Grace leadership team and staying a day later to have some extended time with the other senior pastors in our region.  Please pray that these meeting would be fruitful and encouraging to each pastor and wife in attendance as well.

Our prayer for this time is that we will come home better equipped to serve the church that we love!

Not Just Hearers

In this week’s message, entitled “Family Resemblance”, we examined 1 John 3:1-3. We heard how our adoption as children of God changes our past, present and future. In order to better understand the fulness of how our adoption changes who we are, let us consider these questions:

1.    How is your struggle against sin a sign of your sonship?
2.    Why should you be thankful if you are brought to the place of mourning over your sin?
3.    How does it affect you to know that having a family resemblance as God’s child is not about already being perfect but being engaged in a process of change?
4.    You heard that when you came into the God’s family, God stopped keeping score.  What exactly does this mean?
5.    Do you tend to focus on the sin that trips you up each day?  How could the future promise of 1 John 3:2 have an affect on this focus?
6.    Our hope is found, not in looking back at what we have done, but at what Christ has done.  When do you most need to remind yourself of this and how?

Being a child of living God changes everything. Let us all pray that we daily walk in the amazing reality of our sonship.
